Comments	The Galapagos Sky is a comfortable boat with a very friendly and helpful crew. The accommodations were very comfortable and the food was very good. Our trip was at the tail end of the whale shark season but we were lucky to see no few than 4 whale sharks. Swimming amongst the hundreds of schooling hammerheads is a fantastic experience. Plenty of mantas and eagle Rays, Dolphins on the surface (never could get close enough underwater to see but could hear them), the sea lions were playful and fun to video. Here is a link to a short video from the trip [facebook.com link] Highly recommend a trip to the Galápagos Islands, not for inexperienced divers due to strong currents and surge.
